Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.~ Steve Jobs

You know these words, don’t you? They were used in Apple ‘Think Different’ advertising campaign created by TBWA\Chiat\Day agency. It was used in a television commercial, several print advertisements and a number of TV promos for Apple products.

But did you know that the truncated versions of ‘Crazy Ones’ have been reused in several OSX icons? These are: TextEdit icon, All My Files icon (introduced in OSX Lion) and Mail document icon. Click the images for full size.

Today I decided to turn the comments off. I have been wondering about that for a long time, so don’t think it’s an unconsidered action. I realized that I have written more than 30 posts and I have only 27 comments in my whole site. That is a very, very low number. I don’t want to write here any long poem, but I pretty much like the Matt Gemmell’s article. He has some strong arguments against comments which I agree with:

I am happy to announce, that today, August 4, 2012, we’re celebrating our 2rd birthday (the first post was created on Aug 4, 2010)! I think it’s a great opportunity to change something… That’s it – you’re right! It’s the new logo you see in the header (also on twitter and facebook). It’s a brand new colorful design on which we were working on past week. Beautiful, isn’t it? It’s also a great time to talk about history of kashiv.com’s original square ‘K’ logo design.

The ‘K’ logo of kashiv.com has a long history. Everything started in 2009, when I was in Croatia. I wanted to create a tech website, which provides great Flash development resources (I didn’t know anything about Obj-C or iPhone OS in ’09). I was wondering about the website design and, of course, the logo design. I’m was a bad web designer with a little experience, but I wanted to do it. I started by sketching some concepts. One of them has won. Read the rest after the break.
